Answer 1

You need to modify the view.html.php under the specific component .

Then make a function and call it : initTitle()

public function initTitle() {
    JToolBarHelper::title(JText::_('NEW_TITLE'), 'new');
}

if you want to add new buttons :

public function initToolBar($add=true) {
    JToolBarHelper::custom('save', 'saving', 'saving', JText::_('SAVE'), false);
    JToolBarHelper::spacer();
    JToolBarHelper::divider();
    JToolBarHelper::spacer();
    JToolBarHelper::custom('back', 'block', 'block', JText::_('CANCEL'), false);
}
